WED MAY 16
Holocene presents...
FIN DE CINEMA
A screening of:
Mala Morska Vila
("The Little Mermaid," Czech, 1976)
featuring a live score composed and performed by:
Goodnight Billygoat
Fin de Cinema returns with another gem of the Czech New Wave: the 1976 live action interpretation of The Little Mermaid, Mala Morska Vila! In the vein of other gorgeous, hazy surrealist works from the period such as Valerie and Her Week of Wonders and Daisies, this piece of beautiful melancholy embodies all of the darkness of the original Hans Christian Andersen fairytale. Taking up scoring duties will be Goodnight Billygoat, with their twinkling orchestral pop; Wooden Indian Burial Ground, with their spacious and trippy rock landscapes; and Blood Beach, with their theremin-heavy psychedelia.

8:30pm | $5.00 day of show
